The Wolf's Wyrmling by M.V. Kerry

To name something is to claim it, to describe its past, to prescribe its future. A girl with no name finds gold in the ice. It may be the key to protecting her home from the trappers, prospectors, and priests that all want to claim a piece of North America. But when a boy of many names comes from the United Kingdom in search of treasure, the girl must confront him and her own past to find her name and uncover the long-forgotten truth lurking in the ice before it is too late. The Wolf’s Wyrmling is a low fantasy set in an alternative history of the 19th century about a changing world and the power that comes from questioning truth and believing lies.
